Sound Help

[English Mobster]

I am having an issue with my computer's sound.
What happens is, well, there is no sound. If I turn my speakers all the way up, I can hear a faint buzz of static rising and fading when I adjust the volume controls on the computer, and it does this on 2 sets of speakers and my headphones, so it's not my speakers.
It's done this before, and all I needed to do was plug my speakers into a different speaker jack, but that doesn't work now, either.
I've tried restarting and randomly hitting my computer (and when I hit it, I do get a sudden burst of sound, but it goes away fast), but to no avail.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my sound card... But I have no idea what my sound card looks like. I know what my video card, RAM, motherboard, and hard drive look like, so I'm assuming its something that doesn't look like any of those.

Any help?

Reinstall the drivers for the sound card; had this happen all the time on an old dell laptop. Find the Driver cd that came with your motherboard if it's integrated, or the sound cards driver cd. If you never had that cd, it's cool you can download the drivers from whoever manufactured the computer etc.

Your sound card is the card that your speakers are plugged into...:downs:. Now, if the audio ports that you are using are high up, say, near your USB ports and ethernet, then you are using integrated audio on your motherboard, and you have no sound card.

Sounds like a driver problem to me. What make is your motherboard?

Reinstalled the drivers, got sound blasted in my ear.

It works! Thanks.
